clamd dies periodically

Hi friends,

Any idea why would clamav deamon die after being up for an
hour or about it.
Then it dies without any traces or entry to its log file.
The only
information about clamav not running could be found in the
maillog file:

Dec 12 01:04:38 mail02 amavis[11351]: (11351-08)
ClamAV-clamd av-scanner
FAILED: Too many retries to talk to /var/run/clamav/clamd
(Can't connect to
UNIX socket /var/run/clamav/clamd: Connection refused) at
(eval 57) line
257.

Dec 12 01:04:38 mail02 amavis[11351]: (11351-08) WARN: all
primary virus
scanners failed, considering backups      

Sincerely
Eugene

Yes, that's true, I'm running clamav on FreeBSD. If I
disable ScanMail it
will turn clamav useless, so what's the difference between
disabling it or
deinstalling from the system ?

Hi,

I found this started to happen a week or so ago. I haven't
got to the bottom
of whats going on, but setting:

# Enable internal e-mail scanner.
# Default: yes
ScanMail no

stops it dying. I turned up some posts that suggest this
problem is usually
found on BSD, but I'm running on Linux.

Regards

Pete

I had this happen once... I don't know what happened, but I
downloaded a
more recent version, compiled and installed and it started
to work again.
